# VeToken

veToken is the Governance token that grants holders the right to participate in the decision-making processes and earn a share of the protocol's revenue. Follow the tutorial below to get veNusa, the veToken version of NUSA.

If you don't have NUSA, you can get some by swapping from another token on [Nusa Swap](https://stage-v2.nusa.finance/swap)
